Boiler losing pressure in Datchworth? Boiler repairs sorted properly

Things Datchworth customers usually ask about boiler repairs
How often should I need to top up?▾
A healthy sealed system should hold pressure for 6-12 months between top-ups. Anything more frequent points to a leak.
Could it be the expansion vessel?▾
Yes — a perished expansion vessel inside the boiler is a common cause. We test the vessel as part of diagnosis.
Do you guarantee repairs?▾
Yes — 12 months on the workmanship and any parts we supply.
How fast can you come out?▾
We aim for same-day on no-heat and no-hot-water situations. Tell us when you call if anyone elderly or with young children is in the property — we prioritise.
